Chapter 84 of Volume One: Taking Office on Horseback

  The next day, soon after lunch, Lu Li received a call from Lu Qiang, saying that he had already arrived in Huaqing.

  Lu Li didn't have much to do at the company, so he took a taxi to Huaqing Airport to pick up Lu Qiang.

  As soon as he arrived at the airport, Lu Li saw Lu Qiang, who looked tired but full of energy, and went to greet him.

  "Qiang Ge, over here." Lu Li called out.

  Lu Qiang quickly walked over upon hearing Lu Li's voice.

  "Brother Qiang, let's take a taxi and get you something to eat first. Don't laugh at me, Brother Qiang, even though I've started my own company, I still don't have my own car." Lu Li hailed another taxi and opened the door, saying.

  "No, you're much better than me," Lu Qiang said with a bitter smile in response to Lu Li's words.

  "Alright, let's not be polite, first go eat something, then I'll take you to where you're staying and rest. The accommodation has already been arranged for you, currently all employees in the company who don't have their own place to stay in Huaqing are living in this apartment building." Lu Li said as they sat in the taxi.

  Previously, Lu Li had anticipated that there would be a constant stream of people joining Bie Luo Entertainment, and many of them were not locals from Huaqing. So when renting apartments, they also rented several extra rooms to accommodate new members easily, which proved useful at this moment.

  Lu Li told Lian that his accommodation had already been arranged, and Lu felt a little grateful.

  After being frustrated abroad and returning home for a period of time, Lu Qiang also saw the coldness of human feelings during this period and suffered a lot. At this moment, he had not officially worked for Lu Li, and Lu Li did not have the obligation to prepare a place for him to live, but Lu Li had already prepared everything before he arrived.

  It is said that adding flowers to brocade is easy, but sending charcoal in snowy weather is hard to come by. Lu Qiang now has a deep understanding of this in his heart.

  Lu Qiang withdrew his thoughts and looked at Lu Lei sitting in the passenger seat, saying "thank you".

  Lu Li didn't know that his actions had moved a middle-aged man who had made up his mind to follow Lu Li and work hard, listening to Lu Qiang's thanks without paying much attention, just smiling.

  After dinner, Lu Li sent Lu Qiang to the apartment where the employees of BiliBili lived and told him where BiliBili was located.

  Lu Qiang looked at the office building not far from the apartment, insisting on going to the company with Lu Li first, but was refused by Lu Li. Lu Li could see that Lu Qiang was really tired, so he insisted that Lu Qiang rest first and go to the company tomorrow, which wouldn't be too late.

  Lu Qiang saw Lu Li's resolute attitude and didn't persist anymore. Back in his apartment, he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed, it had been a long time since he slept so comfortably.

  Lu Li walked out of the room and heard a snoring sound coming from inside, he smiled and shook his head, muttering: "Is it really that tiring?"

  Lu Li returned to Bie Li Entertainment and found Meng Qi, saying: "Lu Qiang has arrived in Huaqing, tomorrow you can start working formally, you and he will hand over the work and then take a good rest for a while, this period of time is really hard on you."

  "It's okay, don't work too hard." Hearing Lu Li's words, Meng Qi smiled sweetly, feeling that Lu Li had been caring more and more about her lately.

  "En, from now on you'll be in charge of the financial aspect. The company is still not very big, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Later on, when we recruit more people for this area, it won't be so tiring." Lu Li saw Meng Qi smile and also started smiling.

  After chatting with Meng Qi for a few more sentences, Lu Li returned to his desk and started typing away. With still some spare time now, he might as well stock up on drafts; Lu Li could sense that busy days wouldn't be far off.

  Lu Qiang woke up in the evening, actually he wanted to sleep a little longer, but feeling the pangs of hunger in his stomach, he couldn't fall asleep again.

  Lu Qiang put on his clothes and touched the empty wallet, sighing: "I've never seen anyone as miserable as you, not even having money for dinner."

  He had already heard someone coming back to the other room, but for now he didn't know anyone and hadn't thought of going out to greet them. How could he solve his hunger? Call Lu Li to say that he had no money to eat? Lu Qiang really couldn't bear to do such a thing. Although he also knew that being too proud would lead to suffering, it was indeed embarrassing.

  Just as Lu Qiang was deep in thought, the phone rang.

  It was a call from Lü Li, and Lü Qiáng didn't know what Lü Li wanted at the moment, so he answered the phone.

  "Has Brother Qiang not eaten yet? Then hurry down, I and the former general manager will invite you to dinner, as a welcome for you." Listening to Lu Li's voice on the phone, Lu Qiang really felt his nose getting a bit sour.

  After calming down his emotions, Lu Qiang tidied up his appearance and headed downstairs.

  Downstairs, Meng Qi heard Lu Li's words and scolded: "What former general manager, can't even speak properly."

  Lu Li looked at Meng Qi's disapproving expression and thought it was quite cute, so he continued to smile: "How come I didn't say it well? You're not the general manager, are you? Now that you've resigned, aren't you the former general manager?"

  "Hmm!" Upon hearing Lu Li's words, Meng Qi hummed and pouted her small mouth.

  Lu Li was just about to speak again when he heard a cough, and then Lu Qiang's voice came over with a smile: "This, I didn't interrupt you guys, did I?"

  Lu Li saw the sly smile on Lu Qiang's face and felt a bit embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject: "Let's go, let's go eat."

  Meng Qi's face was also slightly red, but with her head down and the dim lighting, it wasn't very noticeable. She nodded and followed Lu Li to a nearby hot pot restaurant.

  After sitting down, Lu Li looked at Lu Qiang and asked: "I don't know if Brother Qiang can eat spicy food?"

  Lu Qiang saw that Lu Li brought himself to the hot pot restaurant and knew he would eat spicy food. Upon hearing this, he replied: "I've long heard of Huaqing's famous hot pot, so I'll try it today."

  Lu Di heard this and ordered a slightly spicy pot bottom, then ordered some dishes. The waiter went to prepare the meal.

  "Haha, we Huaqing people just like this, Brother Qiang's first time in Huaqing should be a good experience." Lu Li smiled and said during the wait.

  Lu Qiang heard that he should have a good experience, but after eating, he was greatly disappointed. This is still Lu Lidian's slightly spicy, if it's extremely spicy, Lu Qiang probably can't eat at all.

  "Huh, Lu Li, don't we have rice to eat with the hot pot?" Lu Qiang looked around and asked, not finding a place to serve the rice.

  "Uh, okay, I'll help you call." Lu Li was taken aback by his words, but still agreed.

  In fact, people usually don't eat rice when having hot pot, but if needed, you can still ask the waiter to bring some.

  After that, several people chatted and ate while Meng Qi introduced some current company situations to Lu Qiang. It wasn't until about two hours later that they finished eating this meal. Lu Li sent Meng Qi home, and then Lu Qiang returned to the apartment to rest.

  After sending Meng Qi away, Lu Li took a taxi back to her own home and slept after typing for a while.

  The next morning, when Lu Li arrived at the company, Meng Qi and Lu Qiang were already there. Meng Qi was introducing Lu Qiang to the company's staff and announcing that Lu Qiang had officially taken over as general manager, while she herself would be deputy general manager.

  Then Meng Qi introduced each of the company's department staff members to Lu Qiang one by one.

  Lu Qiang also briefly said a few words, and it was considered a successful inauguration.

  Lu Li had just entered the office when he saw Wu Chuan and others who had been absent since his return, walking into the office with a smile.

  "Lao Si, when did you come back?" Wu Chuan and Gao Mu were both surprised to see Lu Li in the office.

  "It's been a few days since I got back, but I haven't seen any of you guys. What have you all been up to?" Lu Li asked, looking at Gao Mu, Wu Chuan, Zhang Fengruo and Lü Yi, who were all visibly excited.

  "Have you forgotten? I wrote two songs before and finally recorded them." Wu Chuan, this person is the most straightforward, with a loud voice, loudly said in response to Lu Li's question.

  "Oh, really?" Lu Li was also somewhat surprised, as these few people had been busy with this matter for the past two months.

  "Hmm, this time with Lü Yi's addition, the effect is much better than our last recording, although it still can't compare to those professional production teams' works, but at least it meets the requirements for making a record." Takagi added.

  The others in the office also heard the conversation and gathered around.

  Lu Li said: "Since everyone is here, let's first listen to the results of their busy work for more than two months."

  When Lu Li said this, Zhang Feng was the most excited, his face full of pride, after all, he had just graduated from university and didn't expect to be able to release his own song so soon.

  I am infatuated with the dark night

  The night brings me peace

  The quiet of the black night brings me peace

  ……

  Zhang Feng's slightly melancholic singing voice came out, and everyone quieted down.

  After listening, Lu Li had to admit that Lv Yi, this composer, was quite good. He had rendered the emotional tone of Wu Chuan's creation, "Black Night", which was still a bit immature, very well. He used some relatively low and soft cello sounds for the composition, which fit the song's atmosphere perfectly.

  Zhang Fengruo's vocal conditions are also good, and singing this song really conveys the emotions contained in Wu Chuan. The voice is quiet and slightly melancholic, which can evoke resonance from people.

  After listening to another song with a different style, Ludi also felt that Takagi's words were very correct, and this song was much better than the one he recorded last time.

  "Hmm, great, it seems you've all worked very hard." After letting the others disperse, only Meng Qi and Lu Qiang were still here, with Lu Li praising them.

  "That's right, don't look down on me, the songs I write may not be as good as yours, Old Fourth, but they're still decent." Wu Chuan said with a smirk.

  "Alright, alright, you've had your fun," Lu Li said.

  The tall wood on the side also laughed: "Right, old four, you said at the press conference of 'Shooting Hoop' that you would release a new song. Is it written yet?"

  "It's no problem writing it, but the key is the producer's issue. This time I'm planning to release an album, so I can't be careless." Lu Li replied.

  "What's wrong, is the company still short of producers?" Lu Qiang suddenly asked.

  "What's going on? Brother Qiang, you know someone like that? If we still can't find a professional producer, I'm prepared to take it outside for post-production." Lu Li said.

  "My confirmation is that I know a professional music producer." Lu Qiang said affirmatively.
